Video-assisted repair of a ruptured right hemidiaphragm

Video-assisted repair of a ruptured right hemidiaphragm AbstractVideo-assisted thoracic surgery is emerging as a viable approach toincreasingly complex intrathoracic therapeutic procedures. We present acase of delayed diagnosis of a ruptured right diaphragm caused by a closedtrauma in a young woman. The diaphragm was repaired successfully using avideo-assisted procedure. Limited postoperative chest pain and muscularimpairment allowed early physical therapy that resulted in an excellentoutcome. Video-assisted thoracic surgery is suggested as a new treatmentoption for traumatic diaphragmatic disorders. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Oxford University Press

AbstractVideo-assisted thoracic surgery is emerging as a viable approach toincreasingly complex intrathoracic therapeutic procedures. We present acase of delayed diagnosis of a ruptured right diaphragm caused by a closedtrauma in a young woman. The diaphragm was repaired successfully using avideo-assisted procedure. Limited postoperative chest pain and muscularimpairment allowed early physical therapy that resulted in an excellentoutcome. Video-assisted thoracic surgery is suggested as a new treatmentoption for traumatic diaphragmatic disorders.
